POLICE are seeking to speak with the owner of a Bull Mastiff after reports of dog-on-dog incidents at a Kingsteignton nature reserve.

The dog in question is described as a tan coloured and the incidents took place at Hackey Marshes Nature Reserve.

Police would like to speak with the owner to provide ‘appropriate intervention to prevent further incidents in the future’.

‘Anyone with knowledge, please email the local Newton Abbot Neighbourhood Policing Team on: [email protected]’ a spokesperson for Devon and Cornwall Police said.

It is against the law to let a dog be dangerously out of control anywhere.

This could be in a public place; in a private place, a neighbour’s house or garden, for example, or in the owner’s home.
